Abstract
An image acquirer acquires inspection images. A compression manager selects an image compressor expected to compress an inspection image from image compressors, allocates the inspection image to the selected image compressor, and transmits the inspection image to the image compressor to which the inspection image is allocated. A storage stores compressed inspection images generated by compressing the inspection images by the plurality of image compressors. The image compressors are connected to the compression manager and the storage via a communication network, and compresses the inspection images transmitted by the compression manager.
Claims15
An inspection image storing system, comprising:
- at least one first processing circuitry to acquire inspection images;
- a plurality of second processing circuitries to compress the inspection images;
- third processing circuitry to
- select second processing circuitry expected to compress an inspection image from the plurality of second processing circuitries,
- allocate the inspection image to the selected second processing circuitry, and
- transmit the inspection image to the second processing circuitry to which the inspection image is allocated;
- and
- at least one storage to store compressed inspection images generated by compressing the inspection images by the plurality of second processing circuitries, wherein
- the plurality of second processing circuitries is connected to the third processing circuitry and the at least one storage via a communication network, and compresses the inspection images transmitted by the third processing circuitry.
A method of storing inspection images executed by an inspection image storing system, the method comprising:
- selecting, by third processing circuitry, second processing circuitry expected to compress an inspection image from a plurality of second processing circuitries, allocating the inspection image to the selected second processing circuitry, and transmitting the inspection image to the second processing circuitry to which the inspection image is allocated, the inspection image being acquired by at least one first processing circuitry;
- compressing, by the second processing circuitry, the inspection image transmitted by the third processing circuitry, the inspection image being allocated to the second processing circuitry by the third processing circuitry among the plurality of second processing circuitries;
- and
- storing, by at least one storage, a compressed inspection image generated by compressing the inspection image by the second processing circuitry, wherein
- the plurality of second processing circuitries is connected to the third processing circuitry and the at least one storage via a communication network in the inspection image storing system.
